Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: "The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ʻalayhi wa sallam,said, "Had I not thought it difficult for my community, I would have commanded them to use the Miswaak (tooth stick) before every prayer.'' [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]. What is the understanding of the Messenger's words: "I would have commanded"?

Assalaamu alaykum. I suffer from IBS (irritatory bowel syndrome) which means that I pass more wind than what is considered normal. My problem is that I struggle to hold wind and often pass it, and on bad days I pass wind as often as every half an hour. Sometimes, on bad days, I struggle to pray two units of prayer without passing wind. I know that there.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. My parents, who are disbelievers, have a dog, and it is very hard for me to keep myself clean from it. I follow the opinion of the Hanbali mathhab that the fur is impure and that I can clean it with soap. However, today his fur touched me while it was wet, and some of it came on my arms. For some reason, I forgot to wash this immediately... More

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Shaykh, I have a question about the Miswaak (tooth stick). I read a hadith that says that your prayer will be multiplied by 70 if you use a Miswaak before it. So my question regarding this is: if I pray two units of prayer of the Sunnah before the Fajr (or any prayer) and then two units of prayer of.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. Some scholars have said that if there is a spot on the skin that is difficult to remove in ablution and Ghusl (ritual bath), the ruling is the same as that for a splint, meaning that you wipe over the spot. Other scholars have said that you can just wash it and that that is enough. If you follow the first view for Ghusl and the second.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. I am really confused about my period. I normally see a brownish discharge the first 1-2 days of my menstruation; then, for 4-5 days, I see blood.

Assalaamu alaykum. I am confused about your ruling on female discharge during her days of purity. In fatwa No. 358021, you said, "You do not have to wash it. You only need to perform ablution." Then, in fatwa No. 825309, you said, "Whenever the discharge exits from.. More
